The Safari is one of the classic Panama hat shapes and the lines on the Olney Safari Panama with Striped Band are just about perfect. Whoever originally blocked this hat was truly a genius. The gently curved 2.5 inch wide brim dips perfectly in the front and back; the 4 inch high pinch bubble crown has just the right proportions. The hat offers phenomenal sun protection and comes with a performance MEGATEX sweatband which will wick moisture away from the skin and help to keep you cool and dry. It is no small wonder that Olney has survived for 100 years in this tough business. They know what they’re doing.

I do not know much about panama hats, but I had thought they were fairly tought because of the fine quality of the straw. This hat is one you have to be careful with, but it looks like something right out of the movies.
